MULTIPLE SWITCH.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 702,409, dated June 17,1902.

Application filed April 17,1901.

T0 (tZZ w/tom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY H. CUTLER, a citizen of the United States,residing at Milwaukee, in the county of Milwaukee and State ofWisconsin, have invented a certain new and useful Improvementin MultipleSwitches, of which the following is afull, clear, concise, and exactdescription, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, forming apart of this specification.

My invention relates to a multiple switch, more particularly designedfor use in con nection with rheostats, although it is equally applicableto other structures where a multiple switch is desired.

It has been proposed heretofore to associate the resistance of arheostat with a plurality of switches, whereby the switches may beclosed one at a time and in a definite order to cut out the resistanceof the rheostat. The present invention is particularly designed foremployment in connection with such rheostats, although it is capable ofa more general use, as will readily appear to any one skilled in theart.

In accordance with the present invention I arrange the multiple switchesso that the same can be closed only in a definite order, and,furthermore, I provide means whereby the switches are adapted to beretained in the closed position and automatically opened at the desiredtime. I preferably employ electromagnetic retaining mechanism adapted tohold the switches in the closed position and adapted when actuated torelease all of the contact-arms to thereby permit the same to reinsertthe resistance. In practice I arrange the switch-arms so that the samewill be automatically released in a definite order, and in the preferredembodiment of my invention I associate the first switch-arm of theseries with an electromagnetic retaining device and associate theremaining switch-arms with the first switch-arm through the agency ofinterlocking mechanism, whereby the electromagnetic retaining deviceassociated with the first switch-arm controls the whole series.

\Vhile I have illustrated and described the preferred embodiment ofmyinvention,which I have Worked out for practical operation, it will beunderstood that my invention is susceptible of various modifications.

Serial No. 56,246. (No model.)

I have illustrated my invention in the accompanying drawings, in whichFigure 1 is a view of the switch of my invention, the circuits beingshown in diagram. Fig. 2 is a side view thereof, all of the switcharmsexcept the first being removed. Fig. 2 is a detail view of theretainingmagnet. Fig. 3 is a detail view of one of the switch-levers.Fig. 4 is a detail view of the latch mechanism for holding the levers inthe closed position. Fig. 5 is a detail view of one of the swinging dogsemployed. Fig. 6 is asectional top View of one of the levers and a topView of one of the cooperating rocking dogs.

Like characters refer to like parts in the several figures.

The switch levers or arms CL 0. a &c., are suitably pivoted or journaledat one end and are provided at the opposite end with suitable handles. Ihave shown the several switch-levers as journaled upon a shaft or rodI), mounted in bearings upon the brackets 19 b. The brackets 1) I) alsosupport a rod 19 which is threaded through a rubber tube 6 which servesas a cushion or buder against which the extended ends of the switch armsor levers are adapted to impinge when thrown open. Each of the leverscarries a contact device 0, made in the usual form from a number ofstrips of copper laid face to face, the free ends being adapted toengage the contact-surfaces to complete the circuit therethrough. Uponthe base-board a is mounted a contact-bar c, with which one end of thecontact device 0 of each arm or lever is adapted to engage, the otherend of said device being adapted to engage one of the contact-terminals(Z (1, due, of the rheostat. Between the bars 0 and the terminal (1 isthe resistance-coil 6, while the resistance-coils e e e e" are connectedbetween the terminals (1 d (1 d (1 (1*, and (1" d5, respectively. Uponthe terminal d is provided a binding-postd,wvhich is connected with oneside of the supply-circuit 2. Upon the terminal (Z is provided abinding-post al which is connected, by means of conductor 4 through thearmaturef of the motor, to the opposite side 3 of the supply-circuit.Upon the terminal (Z is mounted a carbon block g, and a similar carbonblock g is mounted upon the end of the contact-bar c. The firstswitch-arm a carries laterally-extend ing arms g g supporting upon theends the carbon blocks g g, respectively. hen the switch-arm a is movedto close the circuit, the block g engages block g and the block engagesblock 9, thereby closing circuit from terminal cl to terminal a. Thefurther movement of the switch-arm a causes contact device 0 thereof todirectly close together terminals d and 0. Likewise when switch-arm a ismoved outward the contact device 0 leaves terminals (1 and 0 before thecarbon blocks separate, so that any are which may be formed by theopening of the circuit will take place between the carbon blocks insteadof between the metallic surfaces. Near the upper end of the switch-arm alug it is provided, which carries a laterally-extending rod 71/, whichmay take the form of a screw. Mounted upon the baseboard a, above thearm a is a retaining-magnet 7t, having an armature 7t, pivoted at W. Thearmature 7t" carries a laterally and upwardly extending high, and whenarm a is moved to close the circuit rod h engages the side of armature7t" to move the same against the magnet-pole, and the magnetism ofmagnet 7.1 retains the armature 713 in this position. The swinging ofthe armature it" carries the lug 7& upon the exterior of the red It, sothat said rod it will rest in the slot formed between the lug 7& and theface of the armature 7.:. So long as the magnet 7; remains energized thearm Cl, will thus be held in the closed position. Nhen, however, themagnet is is dei'mergized, armature 7; will be released, and the weightof the arm a will carry the same into the position shown in Fig. 2,thereby rocking the arn'iature 7; upon its pivot, as shown. One end ofthe windingof magnet 7a is connected with binding-post (Z and the otherend is connected with bindingpostdiwhich latter binding-postisconnected, by means of conductor 5 through the shunt field-windingj, tothe supply-conductor Mounted upon a rod or shaft supported in suitablebearings upon the base-plate a, are the rocking dogs at m, the. Each ofthe dogs has the rear so shaped as to engage the base-plate a and limitthe downward movement of the dog when free. Upon the end of the dog tothe right-hand side an upwardlyextending lip o is provided, which hasits front edge curved and its rear edge perpendicular to the uppersurface of the dog. The under side of the dog has a lip 0 extendingthroughout its whole length, which lip is rounded off at the left-handedge. The levers a to a, inclusive, are each provided with a latch p,pivoted to the arm at p and set in a slot 17 The first lever a upon theleft has no latch. The wall of the slot limits the vertical movement ofthe latch relatively to the arm. Kelow the latch and formed integralwith the lever is a lug r, projecting toward the base-plate andconsisting of two parts 1" T The part 1" is square in section and flatupon the end, and when the lever is in a position to close circuitpresents a vertical surroe/toe face. The upper part of the part 1' isinclined or ehamfered at an acute angle.

The operation of the structure as above described is as follows:Assuming that it be desired to start the motor, switch-arm (t is closedto first close circuit between the carbon blocks and finally to closetogether terminals (Z and 0' directly through the contact device c. Thearmature L is engaged and moved against the pole of the retaining-1nagnet I.;, and the retaining-magnet thus serves to maintain theswitch-arm in the closed position. Current may be traced fromsupplyconductor 2 to terminal (Z, thence through the switch-arm a toterminal 0 and through the resistance 6 c, the, in series tobinding-post d7, thence by conductor 4; through the armature j" to theopposite side 3 of the supply-circuit. A small portion of the currentpasses from terminal (I through the retaining-magnet 7i:, conductor 5,and shunt field-windingf. Circuit is thus closed through the armaturewith all the armature resistance in circuit. In moving arm a to theclosed position the oblique wall 1" of lug 7- engages the under face ofthe first rocking lug of dog on and springs the same into the positionshown in full lines in Fig. at. The second switch-arm a is now closed,and as the dog on is in its raised position the latch n of the arm a,will ride over the lip 0 of the dog on and will. engage the vertical.wall thereof, and switch-arm (0 will thus be held in the closedposition. The wall 0' of arm a will engage and lift the second rockingdog m, so that when the arm a is closed the latch thereof will beengaged and held by the lip o of the dog m. In a similar manner eachswitch-arm when closed raises the next rocking dog to thereby permit thelatch of the next succeeding switcharm to engage the lip of thecorresponding dog. As each of the switch-arms a to a, inclusive, isclosed a corresponding coil ofthe resistance is short-circuited, and theresistance through the armature-circuit is thus cut out step by step.\Vhen the last switch-arm has been closed, current passes from switcharma to terminal 0, thence by switch-arm a to terminal (1 so that theintervening switch-arms do not have to carry current during the normaloperation of the device.

If it be desired to cutin the resistance and open the circuit throughthe motor, the retaining-magnet 7; maybe deenergized in any suitablemanner, and the arm a will be released and ily outward to the positionshown in Fig. 2. In moving outward the first rocking dog at is permittedto fall, and the latch of the second switch-arm a is thus released, andsaid switch-arm likewise flies outward. The switch-arm a permits thesecond rocking dog to fall, thereby releasing the third switch-arm. In asimilar manner each. switcharm releases the next succeeding switch-armuntil all of the switch-arms have been re leased. The carbon blocksassociated. with switch-arm a are so mounted that each of: the

ICCJ

switch-arms will move away from their contact-terminals after the carbonblocks have separated. In this manner the rupture of the circuit willtake place between the carbon blocks, and the are produced by thebreaking of the circuit will thus be confined to the carbon surfaces.

Any attempt to close one of the switcharms out of its regular order willbe prevented, due to the fact that the fiat face 0'' will engage the endof the rocking dog when in the lowered position, and it is only when thedog has been raised into the upper position that the fiat face r ispermitted to pass beneath the end of the rocking dog. Moreover, unlessthe rocking dog is in the upper position latch 29 will not engage thelip 0 upon the dog, and the rocking dog will be held in the upperposition only when the immediately-preceding switch-arm has been closed.The accidental or intentional closing of one of the switch-arms out ofits regular order is thus effectively prevented.

It may happen that an operator after closing a part of the switch-armswill neglect to close the remainder, and as the resistancewires areusually made of suflicient capacity to carry the current for a shorttime while the motor is being started they are not usually of sufficientcapacity to carry the current for a considerable period of time.Consequently if the operator neglects to close all of the switch-armsthe heating of the resistance-coil may result. To obviate any dangerfrom this cause, I employ the cut-out magnet s, which is preferablyconnected between the last two terminals (Z 01 being thus in parallelwith the last coil 6 of the resistance. The magnet 3 controls anarmature s, carrying upon the end a contact device 5 adapted when thearmature is attracted to bridge together contacts s .9, connected,respectively, with the opposite ends of the windings of retainingmagnet7:. If for any reason the last switcharm is left open, current passingthrough resistance-coil 2'' will heat the same, thereby increasing theresistance and sending a continually-increasing current through thewinding of magnet s, which is in parallel with the coil 6. When theheating has progressed to the prearranged extent, the magnet s will become energized to raise the bridging contact .9 into contact withterminals 5 s and thus short-circuit the retaining-magnet It to releasearm a, and consequently the other arms, which have been. closed. Themagnet 5 thus serves automatically to open the circuit before thecurrent has traversed the resistance for a sufficient length of time toinjuriously heat the same.

The switches are arranged in a series-that is, a plurality ofsubstantially like switch elements are provided which are adapted tocooperate in the manner described.

While I have illustrated my invention in connection with a rheostat, itwill be understood that multiple switches may be employed forcontrolling any other circuit or apparatus without departing from thespirit of my invention.
